Precious Jewel
by Hank Locklin  written by Roy Acuff  [3/4 time]
 
C
Way back in the hills
     F              C
As a boy I was once wandered
 
Buried deep in her grave
         D7          G7
Lies the girl that I love

        C
She was called from this earth
  F         C
A jewel for Heaven
         
More precious than diamonds
     G7            C
More precious than gold
 
  
A jewel here on earth
F            C
And jewel in Heaven
 
She'll brighten the kingdom
D7                G7
Around God's great throne

        C
May the angels have peace
    F            C
God bless her in Heaven
 
They've broken my heart
            G7         C
And they've left me to roam
 
 
When she was sixteen
   F            C
We courted each other
     
She promised someday
   D7              G7
To become my sweet wife

  C            
I bought her a ring
   F           C
To wear on her finger

         
The angels they called her
   G7         C
To heaven one night
  
repeat #2
  
This world has it's wealth
         F          C
And it's trials and troubles
 
Mother earth holds her treasures
   D7           G7
Of diamonds and gold

        C
But she can't hold the soul
   F            C
Of one precious jewel

She's resting in peace
        G7       C
In that Heavenly home
